Trump's DOJ wants to deploy 1,000 election monitors for the midterms. But are they all trained personnel? “The same people that you saw on the streets in Minneapolis are the people who I am worried they are going to say are now the monitors from the DOJ,” Marc Elias says.

This is a reminder that the fraternity system was created to oppose race and gender integration on college campuses. White men who wanted to keep their schools—and all the power that comes with college education—to themselves. It is not a coincidence that they are hotbeds of violence.

Perhaps Senator Eric Schmitt was a little too hawkish during his questioning of Jack Smith today. After accusing the former special counsel of perjury over whether he’d been at a Hawks basketball game, Schmitt was hit with an awkward moment of live fact-checking.

I spoke to @usatoday.com about data on sexual violence at Cornell. Victimization rates are increasing and reporting rates are falling. “Together… those two trendlines tell me that all students, including victims and perpetrators, believe that there is impunity for sexual assault at Cornell.”
usatoday.com
Cornell rarely expels students in sex assault cases | Exclusive
A third of undergraduate women say they've been sexually assaulted. But on average, Cornell reported expelling just one attacker per year.

In case anyone missed it at the time, a part of why schools handle sexual violence so badly is because perpetrators were more involved in writing Trump’s 2020 Title IX regulation. It literally comes up in the Epstein files.

There’s the false accusation from a former state AG who should know better accusing someone of committing a crime based on zero evidence. Then there’s the behavior before, during and after. All of it really shows America what we already knew - Schmitt is scum.

Eric Schmitt fucked up so badly today that even The New York Times isn't mincing words on how badly he fucked up.
NYT Headline: As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falls Apart

Subhed: A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

I heard through the grapevine that Sen. Eric Schmitt has 18 staffers on his legislative team: 17 men and one woman. The woman on his staff deals exclusively with foreign policy, which means today's disaster during the hearing was all by conservative men who don't know sports.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Trump’s mail voting restrictions would have disenfranchised thousands if the Supreme Court had allowed them. But Trump’s plan to restrict mail voting was supposed to be even more prohibitive, with the help of two election conspiracists inside the White House. More from this shocking report:

Report: Trump wanted all mail ballots sent by certified mail
Two White House officials, including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, tried to help Trump make his USPS rule even more restrictive by requiring all voters sign their delivered ballots at home.
